MANCHESTER UNITED fans reckon David de Gea may have relished Andre Onana’s howler in their Champions League loss to Galatasaray.
The Cameroonian keeper was at fault for the penalty the Red Devils conceded in their shock defeat to the Turkish giants on Tuesday night.
Onana carelessly gave the ball away to Dries Mertens in the 77th minute, leading to Casemiro taking out the Belgium international in the box and being sent for an early bath.
Many of the Old Trafford faithful were quick to think of former stopper De Gea after Onana’s latest gaffe.
And the Spaniard appeared to post a cryptic message on his Instagram not long after the match.
De Gea – who is currently a free agent – posted a photo of himself smirking with two of his pals to his Instagram story.
